That is still no comfort at all if you are an hour away from medical attention, but it seems like it could be quite valuable for the cases that do make it to hospital before their brains are irrecoverable mush.
And for those whose brains are mush, they can get a job as a Windows admin.
A bank being ordered by the government to freeze an account is way different than a hosting company being told by a manufacturer to remove a site which allegedly sells counterfeit merchandise.
Government orders are legally presumed correct. If the gov't orders one to do something one knows one has an obligation. That doesn't apply for private companies or individuals. If you think it does, I hereby order you to send me $10000.
I avoid it by knowing the banks rules and playing by their rules. Your "totally free" account is only free if you know the rules and play by them.
I never use my debit as a Debit card but as a Credit card. Otherwise I get charged a tiny fee for it. NEVER EVER deposit at the teller as you get a fee, but deposit before 2:30pm at the ATM.
Whatever happened to "because we can" as a mantra for why we build things that are completely unneeded? I'm not talking about making a catapult that launches criminals into a strong piano wire mesh, cutting them into tiny pieces that will then rain down into the crocodile cage at the local zoo.
That's nice. How many banks are going to give you a loan (last minute I might add) for a flight taking you to your potential death? How many loan officers give loans to people with the expectation that the person has a better than 80% chance of dying in the next year? Get real. 80% of people couldn't afford that, and you know it.
Judging by what caused the current crash, I'd say the answer used to be, quite a few. (And probably again, once we forget, probably around 2016 or so). After all, giving a mortgage for a $300K house to someone making minimum wage is also a losing bet.
helped revolutionize our society into a "post industrial" society (yes that has happened mostly over the last 30 years) and has influenced that society in more than just technology.
Post industrial? As if high tech has replaced industry.
Post industrial would be after the oil runs out (unless we wake up about Peak Oil) and we are back in the 1800s again.
Yes, life is not fair, but honestly this is not a case of someone being rich and privileged because he was born into the right family. Steve Jobs as much as anyone has earned his money. He's worked hard and he's added a lot to society. If we tried to cut him down so things were more fair, then it would be a loss to all of us.
Everybody knows about Steve Jobs, but no one knows about Steve Wozniak, who was the actual technology innovator.

Also, if a pill existed that did to the brain what falling in love does to the brain, it would be illegal.
It's called Ecstasy.
Makes you happy and warm and fuzzy, then you crash and are left depressed and stupid (which doesn't totally wear off).
And reputation is all Toyota has to keep the Prius alive.
Since the new Ford Fusion Hybrid kicks the ass of everything else out there.
Have any proof Theora uses more bandwith? Old doesn't mean bad, HTML is old, so is TCP/IP and UNIX
Given the poor quality of airport/airplane food (or lack of it entirely), the people would eat the tomatoes, not throw them.
Are you a shill for the oil companies?
Ethanol is very net energy positive!
Terrorism was as much a threat in 1950 in 1960 in 1970 as it is today yet in those times we walked right up to the plane without hassle.
WTF?! What in the 50's, 60's, or 70's compared to 9/11?
If the pandemic is really bad, the resulting deaths will lower network utilization.
Sad, scary, and perverse, but true.
First Sale Doctrine says even an "unlicensed distributor" is allowed to sell an item.
Well, until a law gets passed which repeals it. Which is fairly likely to happen in the not to distant future.

WTF! OMG! LOL!
Even Wells Fargo doesn't charge those fees!
You need to change banks!
Most economic theory assumes people in the marketplace are rational.
With Apple customers, that assumption, and the economic theory that depends on it, goes out the window!
.126 BAC isn't just a couple of drinks.
And he is a football player, a male with a presumably (possibly very) high weight.
Therefor, it is almost certainly more like 8 or 9 drinks and straight behind the wheel or something comparable.
And he earns enough to easily afford alternate transportation (a cab, a limo, etc).

Uh, that sounds like something useful to me.
Well, when the oil runs out there won't be any power to run the courts, so no more lawsuits! :)
I dunno about everyone else but when I heard "hormonal imbalance", and Steve Jobs had dropped out of sight, I figured he was in big trouble.
Exactly! In the old USSR, when a leader got a "cold", he was dead a week later!
Personally, I think Apple has left itself open for an expensive court case.
How ironic, usually they are the ones suing!
.And theres no way that if you have something wrong with your liver you won't have a hormone imbalance?
But just calling it that is dishonest.
It would be like saying someone whose skin has turned blue from end stage congestive heart failure has a "skin condition" or a "complextion issue".

The local problem with CFL's (they contain a trace of mercury) is outbalanced by the central problem of coal-burning releasing even more mercury.
Have any proof that coal burning releases that much mercury?
If you need a bulb that bright, chances you have more to worry about from the DEA than the EPA.
iPhone?
And you are arguing about the ethics of Palm??
It's not like they went and sued app developers.
So by way of example, whenever you earn money you keep just enough to live and give the rest to local charity?
Sort of true.
Except the charity isn't always local, and it isn't voluntary. It's called taxes.
